Quinlan, who was hired on Sept. 26, 2005, says he'll pursue other opportunities.

Quinlan said in a statement he's proud of improving the school's athletic facilities and moving the men's basketball program to Newark's Prudential Center.

The school says deputy athletics director Duane Bailey and senior associate athletics director Ginger Fulton will oversee the department's day-to-day operations through the remainder of the academic year.
